Perfect weather. Starring up at the sky, watching the plane cross from one side to the other, then turning cartwheels. My cartwheels are getting rather good.

I don’t know where this study was done/if it is all true, but it makes you think:
http://www.csus.edu/indiv/o/oreyd/papers/earthpop.html
If Earth’s population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people with all the human ratios existing in the world still remaining — what would this tiny, diverse village look like?
This is what he found:
57 would be Asian.
21 would be European.
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere.
8 would be African.
52 would be female.
48 would be male.
70 would be nonwhite.
30 would be white.
70 would be non-Christian.
30 would be Christian.
89 would be heterosexual.
11 would be homosexual.
6 people would possess 59 percent of the entire world’s wealth, and all 6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing.
70 would be unable to read.
50 would suffer from malnutrition.
1 would be near death.
1 would be pregnant.
1 would have a college education.
1 would own a computer.If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep…you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
Lucky me.
